A suspect identified as Dolapo Babalola has revealed that he killed his friend to snatch his motorcycle and sell it to his regular buyers and use the money for personal needs.
Babalola, a 39-year-old man, who said apart from his friend’s motorcycle, he had snatched about 15 others since he started, claimed that he had never killed before.

Narrating how he and other suspects now at large killed his friend to journalists in Akure, the Ondo State capital, Babalola said when they intended to collect the motorcycle from the deceased, he dragged it with them and they hit him with a stone.
He said, “It is the work of the devil, I can’t explain because this person that we are talking about is my close friend. Truly, his bike is not the first I will snatch but I have never killed before.

“Even those that are not related to me I snatched their bikes and I did not even do anything harmful to them but this one is just a coincidence. It is the work of the devil. I can’t explain how it happened. At least I have snatched about 15 bikes but I have never been killed before.

“His own is the first, my buyer is in Ibadan. The cleanness of the bike at times determines how much we are going to sell it, but no matter how clean the bike is, my buyer will buy it for around N200,000.
“But we sold this one at the rate of N130,000 and we shared the money equally because we are two in the business. When we intended to collect the bike from him, he dragged it with us and I hit him with a stone. I know his mum and younger brother. I can’t explain why I killed him, I am a trader I sell orange,s but I don’t have a shop,’’ he said.

Parading the suspect, the state commissioner of police, Abayomi Oladipo said, “Through technical intelligence, the suspect was arrested and upon the interrogation he confessed to how the rider was engaged from Ondo town to take him and one other to a farm area in Oke-Igbo and the rider who incidentally happens to be his friend and brought him to this area where we are.”

The police boss said, “On getting to this point they came down under the pretence that they wanted to inspect their farm, the other suspect who is now at large griped the Okada rider at the back while the arrested suspect hit him with a stone on the head and consistently used wood to battered his head.”
